Impact Testing Accelerometer System From ETLG Inertial Aerosystems

Product design involves a number of safety checks, whether the designer is working on a consumer item or an industrial product.

Designers are increasingly interested in measuring the potential injury that would be caused by an accidental impact, to ensure their products are safer than ever and meet required standards..

ETLG Inertial Aerosystems is pleased to announce a new impact testing accelerometer system to support these aims. The data collected offers the same FFT analysis and display capabilities that are typically found on more expensive devices.

About the Accelerometer System

The new Silicon Designs Model 3330 G-Logger system is now available through ETLG Inertial Aerosystems.

The system includes up to 3 accelerometers, either single axis, or 3 axis, combined in a rugged enclosure that is connected to a data logging module This compact, portable and highly robust system can be used for repeatable tests. It is an inexpensive and versatile solution, being powered by a single USB connection.

Users enjoy:

16-bit data acquisition

Up to 3 separate input channels

Data rates of 1 to 10k samples per second, and per axis, through each input channel

Fixed full scale ranges from +/- 2g to +/- 200g, with up to 2000g overload survival are on offer..

Users do not need to purchase a separate power supply unit for the accelerometer, since power is drawn through the USB connection.
